During the Sixth Language Creation Conference (LCC6) held this weekend in Horsham (United Kingdom), the final results of the Conlang Relay Game were published, including the Aingeljã entry.

I received a text by William Barton written in his Semkanya conlang, which appears in his novel Crimson Darkness (Venusworld, Volume 1). Here you can read his Semkanya text.

My mission was to translate his text into Aingeljã and to pass the torch to the following participant, who was Daniel Quigly with his Dhanyelle conlang.

Here you can find the complete grammar and glossary for Aingeljã used in this Relay.

This is the video of the LCC6 second day. Aingeljã is mentioned in 3:45.36 minute.

 

 

Text in Aingeljã:

Smooth translation into English:

“I’m going crazy”

I have just woken up with a start. You have come closer to me quickly. I have been sleeping during the whole day. My wishes might lead me in my dreams and I will be lost in reverie. Probably they (feminine) have not taken notice of my hidden feelings towards them, but I knew all the images in my dream. These images were darkening the road and will not let me see my path, so sadness was taking control of me. Right now the only inner fear that makes me move might be a demon.
